Mining

Challenge:

Improving ventilation in the lower levels of Mt. Charlotte Underground Mine was difficult due to limited access, making traditional construction methods like shotcrete impractical.

Achievement:

Concrete Canvas® enabled the successful installation of a permanent vent wall by just three people in three days, proving to be a fast, efficient, and scalable solution for future use.

Product Used:

Concrete Canvas®

Location: Australia

Project Type: Product Supply & Installation

Product Used: Concrete Canvas® CC13 Bulk Rolls

Challenge

Improving ventilation in the lower levels of the Mt. Charlotte Underground Mine required constructing permanent walls in remote, hard-to-access areas where traditional methods like shotcrete were impractical.

The Titan Solution

Concrete Canvas® CC13™ was selected for its ease of deployment and minimal labor requirements. Installed using a mesh and prong system, the material was manually secured and hydrated, allowing for efficient wall construction without heavy equipment.

Concrete Canvas® (CC) is a Geosynthetic Cementitious Composite Mat (GCCM), a factory-produced material combining cement within geosynthetic layers that hardens when hydrated for erosion control and weed suppression.

Achievement

30m² of CC13™ were successfully installed by just three workers in three days, demonstrating a fast, scalable, and cost-effective solution for future vent wall installations in the mine.
